Chapter One-Hundred-and-Twenty-Four
It quickly dawned on Adam what the Flayed Lady had meant by ‘song’, because his new Legendary Relic, the Mandate of Blood, was transmitting a melody up through his veins and into his brain. It was like an orchestra and it grew louder and more complex as he neared the Market.
I think the vendors and their blood is somehow singing to me…
It feels so bizarre.
But he understood how powerful it was just on the surface-level, to say nothing of mastering it, because it essentially allowed him to understand where all living creatures were in relation to him.
It’s astounding that there are so many different melodies mixed together and yet they form a coherent song, he mused.
When he focused, he could pick out individual melodies. From the direction of the Market came eight different tones. Surprisingly, there was also one far above him, but he realised that it must belong to Luvicidix who seemed to reside in the clouds. Aside from her, there were also four melodies coming from behind him, in the direction of the Tavern. But that meant two were missing, since Alivida only showed up at night.
I don’t think Finnian and Sprite are a part of the song.
It somehow felt disturbing to him, because he couldn’t track them in the same way as everyone else.
I also don’t hear anything from the Player House, so the critters in the garden must not be alive. Although… there is a blossoming tone coming from that way. I’m guessing it’s the flame in the lighthouse, though I’m not sure why it would sing with the Blood.
